Botox for migraine has made my eyebrows droop and eyelids droop horrifically! Any suggestions?

Asked By:snugglebottom in PA

I have been getting botox every 3 months for migraine ( Over a year now of treatments ). My eyebrows are now drooping so badly ( Eye lids also ) that I have to use surgical tape to open my area enough for me to see properly. I spoke to my plastic surgeon ( Who is wonderful ) who administers my restylane ( Lips ) and he suggested a brow lift and eye lid lift. What are the downfalls of this procedure and can it affect future treatments of migraine botox?
